Spring is here. Without a doubt,
Spring is here. The atmosphere of
Spring is the most prevailing element
in the air, especially on the farm,
but more especially on a bachelor's
farm than any other. I am at present
a bachelor and have been for some
time, so I know the conditions sur-
rounding a bachelors home, and es-
pecially the effects of Spring on a
bachelor's home as I have been a
bachelor for the past forty Springs of
my life. Spring produces love. We see
signs of love everywhere. We feel it
in the air. We even see signs of it
among the animals in the farmyard.
So one might reasonably expect Cu-
pid to try to force his way into the
home of a bachelor in springtime.
And I have never seen him fail. This
| year however he has shot more ai-
jrows into my loesome bachelor heait
than ever before, in fact, sometimes
his arrows come so thick and fast
i that I have a hard time escaping fa-
jtal results.
One morning a short time ago one
of his arrows went so deep that I
could not withstand the pressure.
I had to have something to love. I
paced the floor trying to beat down
that awful longing in my heart. I sat
down and stuffed the towel in my
mouth to keep back the sobs but in
vain. 1 must shed my love on some-
one. I could not stand the lonesome-
ness of my house any longer, so I
staggered blindly out of the house and
'down the walk . Before I had re-
■ gained consciousness I had reached
the bai;n, and there stood Betsy,,
j chewing away, oblivious of her sur-
| roundings. I walked up to her and
put my arms around her neck and
tried to let her know my feelings but
I there was n0 sympathy here. She
' paid no attention to me, but would
| only switch her tail and shake her
tail and shake her head. Disgusted
with my first attempt at lovemaking
I resolved to go to the house, lie

the order. Friendship, Love and
Truth he stressed particularly and
the care of the orpan, the widow and

important point he brought forceably
to his audience was that of charity.
